Dieitng and light headed?
Answer:
when you deprive your body (which you are doing) your body doesn't get energy and nutrients it needs for normal functioning. any rapid weight loss is mostly water and muscle loss. it can also cause fatigue and dizziness, with less energy for physical activity. and it feeds the cycle of yo-yo dieting. body chemicals called ketones build up in the body when carbs are not available for energy which is really bad for kidneys.
(ketosis - increased blood ketones from incomplete fat breakdown. it suppresses hunger and so contributes to lower calorie intake. ketosis can cause weakness, nausea, dehydration, light-headedness and irritability. it can be fatal to people with diabetes.
You need breakfast too! Something with some protein like yogurt. And drink a lot of water!
try taking a multi vitamin or go see a dietician ir a nutritionist- i am haveing the same problem- or try eating a little more
dieting shouldn't make you light headed so your not eating enough - if you dont eat enough the tiredness wont go
also I noticed you didnt mention breakfast - you'll have heard it b4 but its important 2 eat breakfast
You need to drink water and sleep more. Since you are not gaining all the calories your body needs you have no energy to get up. You need to eat more protein and natural sugar (fruit).
And you HAVE to eat breakfast. Even if it is a piece of fruit or a yoghart. That will keep your energy levels up until lunchtime, it will also give you something to get up for in the morning!
Good luck, exercise will burn more calories than stravation!
You're eating way too little and too rarely so your bloodsugar level is dropping too much. You need to work out a reasonable calories intake and divide it into 5 or 6 small portions that you spread evenly throughout the day.
That way your body thinks it's getting more food than it actually is and also it'll keep your metabolism quicker. To eat reasonably will helpyou keep the weight off when you reach your goal weight as well.
I would really recomend you put your diet back to normal for a while then try and slowly diet so maybe aim for 1 - 2 pounds.
Best wishes
You are definitely not eating enough. The reason you're not feeling hungry is that your metabolism has stopped. What this means is when you start eating sensibly again, which you will because at the moment you are just making yourself ill, all the weight you've lost will pile back on.
Diets are not just about calorie intake its about having the right balance of nutrition, then you lose the weight.
email me and I can advise you further. The way you are going you are not losing body fat you are losing the lean muscle mass when it should be the other way round. Also the tiredness is because you're not getting good nutrition in other words you are starving yourself.
How old are you? I guess you are very young.
